When you watch behavior like that seen in this video and the tape of the signature box carriers for the recall...there is something that really stands out about the behavior itself.

Performance and narcissism walk a fine line. The behaviors you see demand center stage, regardless of appropriate time and place...it is not critical thinking behavior afterall. It is narcissism...it's always all about me...the spotlight must be on me...I must make myself the center of attention if the rest of you are not smart enough to see that I am the only one smart enough to take center stage.

It is neurological plasticity on film...a learned behavior...and the leader is the Chief Narcissist himself...President Obama.

Brain mapping scans of those demonstrating this behavior would most likely show neurons "on fire" in the pleasure centers with connection to motor movement while they are "doing". My guess would be that hours, even days later when you would think those areas of the brain would have gone dark when not doing the activity...I'd guess mapping would show those are still "on fire" and driving the behavior to accelerate and feed the need.

Maybe Richard Davis at UW-Madison will take on that brain mapping study, now that his "Monk" study has gone viral on the neuroplasticity of the brain seen in mapping studies with prayer and meditation.
